Lead investment strategy for one of NSW's most significant superannuation funds

SAS Trustee Corporation, known as State Super, manages $37 billion in assets for more than 86,000 members across four defined benefit superannuation schemes for NSW Government employees. As a trusted steward of retirement savings for public servants, police officers, and state authority employees, they combine sophisticated investment management with a deep commitment to member outcomes and responsible investment practices.

Operating under a unique dual-management model, the Defined Benefit portfolio is managed by NSW Treasury Corporation (TCorp), while the Defined Contribution portfolio operates through an Outsourced Chief Investment Officer arrangement with Frontier Advisers. This structure demands strategic leadership that can navigate complexity while maintaining unwavering focus on member needs.

As a Senior Executive Band 2, you will advise the CEO, Board, and NSW Treasury on investment performance, lead Asset-Liability Management to achieve full funding of government liabilities by 2040, and drive the Responsible Investment agenda including ESG integration and active ownership. Leading a team of four, you will steer both the investment partnerships and actuarial functions, you'll manage critical stakeholder relationships across government while ensuring investment operations align with fiduciary obligations and risk appetite.

What We're Looking For

You bring 15+ years of investment experience and hold relevant qualifications. Your proven track record includes advising on or implementing investment strategies, with strong knowledge of defined benefit superannuation and Asset-Liability Management. You are a strategic thinker and problem-solver at the highest level, communicate complex concepts with clarity and influence, and deliver results through effective stakeholder management. Your leadership inspires direction and optimises business outcomes, while your expertise in procurement and contract management ensures robust governance. Knowledge of ESG portfolio integration and experience with industry collaborative efforts demonstrates your commitment to responsible investment.

If you're ready to shape investment strategy for a fund that genuinely matters to the people of NSW, we want to hear from you.
